TILE AS A FLOORING

Q

I have slate tile in the bottom of my leopard gecko tank as flooring. I have a uth on the bottom of the tank and then a piece of reptile carpet and over top of that the tile. This method seems to have been more reliable in heat control than my corn viv. Darwin is in a 20 long with uth on bottom and then reptile carpet then substrate. I was wondering if I were to build an enclosure for my corn would it be safe to use tile as a bottom as long as reptile carpet was used on the area where the uth is located? I am a newbie so just trying to kick around ideas for building a larger enclosure. Thanks for any suggestions and responses.
 
That is definately a fine idea for flooring. I recently built an enclosure and used tile as the flooring. It retains heat well, and cleans easily.
 
Well in the gecko cage I already had reptile carpet down so I just measured then had tile cut to the exact measurement minus enough to be able to pry them out for cleaning.
 
I cemented the tiles to the bottom with construction adhesive, and then used silicone sealant all around the edges to stop water from getting under them.
